GreenSweep: A Smart Urban Waste Management System Using IoT

The rapid urbanization of cities has brought with it an enhancement of complexity in the management of solid waste. Most of the time, the existing waste collection systems turn out to be ineffective, resulting in such problems as environmental pollution and health risks, as well as inefficient utilization of the resources. To respond to such problems, this paper proposes GreenSweep, which is an architected solution that integrates IoT with waste management processes to improve the collection of waste in an urban environment. With the introduction of sensors in trash bins which enable users to check the bin status in real time, and adopting a flexible subscription model to service, GreenSweep is trying to overcome the Shortcomings of traditional approaches. The approach of GreenSweep is designed to achieve reduction in operational expenses, reduction in environmental effects, and improve the efficiency of urban waste management strategies
